Returning to work this week
I go back to work Wednesday from mat leave.
I am the breadwinner so staying home isn’t an option (plus I worked really hard to get where i’m at). I am excited but also dreading it.
please give advice on how to handle the transition! / how was it when you went back to work?

For me going back to work was nice but also rough. I work with a lot of EMTs and my mom watches my daughter while I’m at work. My EMTs help me get through the day and always ask me how she is. My coworkers are like my family
i personally don't want to be working but we're trying to move states at the end of the year so we need the extra income. even though I kind of hate it i think giving baby a quick facetime while i'm at work helps on the really hard days! also, being part time so i have more time with her. idk if it's an option for you but i recommend starting off part time and slowly increasing hours to help you both adjust slowly
I am about to go back as well and honestly freaking out. Last time, postpartum brain was real. It was hard to hide. I didn't feel like myself at work for a while. Then came pumping and trying to do everything. It was a lot. But as most things in a few weeks j got the hang of it again and settled into a routine

Sex so close to due date?
I know it's safe right up until birth, but girl, there is so much pressure there I feel like a balloon. I have all the desire to be intimate with my husband but as soon as he gets his hands anywhere lower than my belly button I feel like I'm going to burst🥴🥴 is this happening for anyone else or am I ✨quirky✨

Low sex drive
I do not want to have sex with my partner. Im just exhausted and it’s starting to affect us! Is there anything I can take to increase it?

How should I go about this?
So my boyfriend and I recently found out we’re having a baby, I’m almost 10 weeks and things have been extremely rocky. I’m constantly in fear that he’s going to leave so in my anger I always try to leave before he does and that leads to bigger problems. Today we got into an argument because I saw him call a female at 3am the other day & it seems as if other calls in his call log have been deleted. He claims she’s “just an old friend” but I’ve used that excuse in the past (before we were dating, I’ve never cheated on him) In my anger I told him I was done and didn’t want to be with him anymore & that blew up. I immediately regretted it & apologized and tried to reassure him that I really do want us to be a strong parental unit for our child together but now he’s acting like we TRULY need to break up. I feel as though I can’t do this without him & I really don’t want to. Any advice would be appreciated.
